“Since we have 500,000+ IT workers in the US looking for work...when will the H-1bs be going home?”
Hopefully soon. I refuse to run software projects where we utilize H1B developers. Time and time again it is because of H1B developers which lead to project overruns.
One would think that companies would figure out that you get nothing but crap from India. I've been seeing it for years and years.
The company I primarily work for has outsourced almost all of it's IT to Cognizant. OMG, what a disaster. If it's something rote, yeah, they can do it. If it requires a brain and institutional knowledge, or just knowledge about interoperability, it is a crapfest just waiting to happen. I would not buy stock in the company I'm supporting.
